Plain peanut butter is a low-purine plant protein that is safe for most people with gout in moderation.
Good
Unsweetened natural peanut butter provides anti-inflammatory unsaturated fats and fiber. It can help replace high-purine animal proteins to support better gout management.
Bad
Sweetened or processed peanut butter with added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup can raise uric acid levels. Salted varieties may complicate hypertension management.
